so obama sees this as just political cover. and he gets -- he solicits opinions around the room and outside from people who aren't the important people. and a number of those people have a view that really we should be thinking about genocide as a national security issue. it may not seem like a national security issue whether we let these million people be exterminated but it creates a mood when you can prevent that from happening. these things in libya now may be much worse if we don't encourage our friends and walk the walk and not just talk the talk. obama says to them come back in two hours with an actual solution to the problem so we can consider it. they come back. >> two hours later. >> i have a dinner. i'll be back in two hours. meanwhile, he's planning the attack on osama bin laden's compound, he has a million things going on. this is a sliver of the presidency. and on his decision rests the lives of a million people. it's incredible. it shows the incredible power of the presidency. but because he reframed the decision

this is the form of president obama's resolve. it's a resolve the american government can and should kill those it believes to be its enemies and it's taken the precise shape and included the fire power of the unmanned aerial drone. that resolve, some believe, may not be lawful, but it is definitely forceful. it's almost ruthless. and we now think it's part of what led to the attacks in benghazi which is not to say it's the wrong thing to do. that's a more complicated question. but it is to say that the idea that more assertive application of american power will lead to less violence against america is a hard idea to find evidence for in recent history. and so the question for governor romney is what exact form his resolve would take such it would simultaneously be more effective and encourage less backlash from the terrorists who feel their power is slipping away? joining me now is associate editor at the "washington post" and someone i'm proud to call a colleague. rajiv, it's good to see you. so you know all of this 100 times be

now similar attacks against obama. if president obama were participating in his intelligence briefings on a regular basis, perhaps he would understand why people are so offended at his efforts to take sole credit for the killing of osama bin laden. president obama never took sole credit for the killing and the president reviews his intelligence briefings every day. it's shocking for dick cheney to go down this road. an op-ed revealed negligence by the bush administration when it came to intelligence briefings in 2001. the direct warnings to mr. bush about the possibility of an al qaeda attack began in the the spring of 2001. by may 1st, the central intelligence agency told the white house of a report that a group presently in the united states was planning a terrorist operation. no one can say the attacks of 9/11 could have been prevented and further more democrats didn't attack republicans on national security. one thing republicans proved today, that there is never a day that they will take off from attacking the pre

here is what ryan had to say about obama's record on poverty. >> the obama economic agenda failed not because it was stopped, but because it was passed. here is what we got. for long joblessness across the country. 23 million americans struggling to find work. family income in decline. 15% of americans living in poverty. here we are, four years of economic stewardship under advocates of the poor and what do they have to show for it? more people in poverty and less upper mobility wherever you look. >> it's not the first time this election cycle we have seen the right raise the spectrum of the poor. ift's not to offer prescriptions or remedies, a means of playing on middle class fears of losing ground suggesting they could become impover shed. calling president obama is the today stamp president is, in the wake of a devastating financial crisis lost the means to put food on the table for their families, but imply some other is living large while the rest of us struggle. that said, we know something about the people romney relies on and what they believe about poverty. remember the romne

obama has got to address that. he's also going to have to do something else in wisconsin that he hasn't done as much of, although he did a little in iowa recently. that is talk about farm and rural policy. in these states in the upper midwest, there are a lot of democratic potential voters in rural areas. they have to be addressed. >> let's take a look at the money being spent there in wisconsin right now. the obama campaign is actually outspending the romney campaign. there's the figure right there. $668,000 to $370,000. when you throw in all that super pac money, here's the real story. almost $8 million by the romney campaign versus just shy of $4 million by the obama campaign. it looks like all that money is having quite the impact, no? >> that's right. i think it is having an back. it seems to me that there were a couple states they could have put in play. one of which was wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. seems like they've seeded the ground in those two big, big states. wisconsin seems like it's still in pla

we understand and know what the situation is for obama. for them, they're saying we don't really care who's the president. we know nothing will happen until then. we have no incentive to do anything right now. the only thing they have done and it's significant, i guess, been pointed out in the press. some of that 20% enriched uranium has been converted to fuel plates which can't then be reconverted or reprocessed into fuel. what they're doing is sitting there with this, you know, status quo not increasing -- increasing the number of centrifuges but not actually running them. trying to leave it as it is, you know, try to play out the sanctioning until november and then see if there's going to be real offers then. >> the first year of obama's administration he wrote personal letters to the supreme leader and he announced that there would be a pause to any further sanctions. he said that america and under him would be interested in discussions and the iranians responded by stealing an election that was won by their more democratic opposition,
